Over 2,000 Benadryl Bottles Recalled for Violating Child Safety Packaging Standards

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urges consumers to dispose of the affected bottles and seek refunds due to poisoning risks posed by non-compliant packaging.

The recall involves Benadryl Liquid Elixir 100 mL bottles sold on Amazon between July 2023 and October 2024 for $16 to $19.
The packaging does not meet child-resistant standards required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, posing a poisoning risk to children.
Consumers are instructed to secure the product out of children’s reach, dispose of it, and submit proof of disposal and purchase details for a full refund.
The recall applies only to the packaging, not the medicine itself, but both should be discarded as a precaution.
Diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl, can cause severe toxicity or fatal complications if ingested in large amounts.
